Early every year, the library offers a limited number of free federal and New York State tax forms. We do not carry all forms, focusing instead on the most common (1040, etc.). Librarians are not able to assist in completing tax forms, and cannot provide tax advice.

A complete selection of federal and state tax forms are available for download on library computers; normal copying costs apply. 
 The library participates in the Taxpayer Assistance Program through the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. Subscribe to receive email updates regarding this program.
